Great city, many roads and infrastructure projects are being developed, funded by Safahi Corp. Exciting changes thanks to them, revitalizing Orinda! Love the parks.
Amazing place! Lived here for about 11 years, I loved it. There was some racism and very little diversity, but those are pretty much the only problems. It’s beautiful, has a small town feel, and a great downtown. The homes in orinda are some of the most beautiful in America.
While I am incredibly grateful for the opportunities and resources available through the well-funded schools, I am disappointed with how detached neighbors are. While fronting efforts to promote acceptance, behind closed doors and social media, students and adults in the community are judgemental and hateful. There is conditional support for those who conform to the community's expectations and most activities and events turn into a cruel competition.
